Re: Saints @ 49ers

Re: Saints @ 49ers

Just shows that Caldwell needs to be fired and revamp the defense and get rid of those 5ft6 midget defenders and bring in brian billick and let him build a real defense and also draft Luck!!! And pry away the 49ers defensive coordinator

Wow, what a bad post. First off, Brian Billick was originally hired by the Ravens for his offensive acumen as he was the OC for the 1998 Minnesota Vikings, which set a record for points scored in a season. He was in no way responsible for the Baltimore defense- the Ravens had men like Marvin Lewis and Rex Ryan to thank for that.

Second, the 49ers defensive coordinator is Vic Fangio, who was the DC for the Colts from 1998-2001. The 2001 Colts gave up over 30 ppg and he was fired along with Jim Mora at the end of that season.

He was one of three defensive coordinators who got the axe during the Polian regime. At some point, you have to look at the person constructing the roster and not the men coaching them on the field.

That's not to say that Fangio, Meeks, and Coyer weren't without their faults because they were certainly far from perfect. But it's safe to say that the front office didn't give them the best stuff to work with.

Re: Saints @ 49ers

This was a great game. I actually like Sean Payton and Drew Brees but its nice to see the 49ers having the season they are having especially with most of the same players from last years team.

I always felt bad for Alex Smith. I didn't think the guy was Peyton Manning or Tom Brady but he hasn't been given a fair shot. I mean come on he has had a different offensive coordinator about every year he has been in the league right?

I would love to see the 49ers win it all. They have nice balance and have a much better offense than people think. I hope Grigson is taking good notes.

Re: Saints @ 49ers

Much as I dislike Ravens fans, a Niners/Ravens SB would be pretty fresh with some interesting storylines.

Yeah. Brother vs. Brother (obviously the biggest one). Baltimore having the chance to win a Super Bowl in the city that "stole" their previous team. Jim Harbaugh having the chance to win it in the city where he achieved his greatest professional success.

Re: Saints @ 49ers

Good thing the teams with the second and third best QBs in the league could win during the playoffs.....

fixed it for you!

I mean, come on... one game behind Joe freakin' Montana for most career playoff wins, with a better winning percentage, passed for 5,235 yards in a season while playing outdoors, 3 rings, one year removed from being the first unanimous MVP in league history.

Prior to last week, Tom Brady was 0-4 in his last 4 playoff games. Since that time, both Rodgers and Brees have both won rings.

I'm glad you brought Brady up, considering that it's been, what, 7 seasons since he's won a SB? About the same time that the offense started skyrocketing and the defense started plummeting.
